Clubhouse Parking Lot and Courts Resurfacing (UPDATE 1/22/21)

Posted on January 22, 2021 by Don Hedman

Update 1/22/21: The parking lot repair work has been completed. The court remodeling is in progress and the courts should open again next week.

1/8/21The parking lot at the Clubhouse will be temporarily unavailable starting on Monday, January 11 as we repair and seal the lot.  Please use the parking lot across the street if you need to come to the Clubhouse while work is underway. The lot will be sealed on January 15th and will once again be completely closed on that day.  Restriping of the lot will happen on Saturday the 16th.

The tennis courts and basketball court will be repaired and resurfaced starting on Monday, January 18.  This repair is required due to the water intrusion that has been experienced with runoff causing damage to the tennis court and basketball court.

If you have any questions about these closures, please call the Management  Office.

Holiday Golf Cart Parade with Santa! – Rescheduled to Christmas Eve

Posted on December 20, 2020 by Don Hedman

The residents of Covered Bridge Estates have organized a Golf Cart parade on December 24 starting at 3:30pm!  Do you own a golf cart and would like to participate?  Would you like to join the parade on your motorcycle or bicycle?

Participants: Decorate your golf cart or your bike with holiday cheer (lights, garland, music, etc.). Holiday attire is also welcome. Individually wrapped candies can be tossed to “parade watchers” but please maintain social distancing guidelines. Participants are asked to meet at the clubhouse bus/overflow parking lot at 3:15 for 3:30pm pull out time.  Duration of the parade is estimated to be 45 minutes

Spectators: The parade route will include all streets, beginning at Laurel Creek Trail, moving toward Little Gap Loop, New Paris Way, French Creek Court, and so on toward King Bridge Place, crossing over to Rock Creek Circle before returning to the parking lot.

Be sure to watch for Santa as our special guest riding in one of the golf carts!

Join us Thursday, December 24 starting at 3:30pm.

Disclaimer: Because Florida Statute 316 section 212 does not allow golf carts to be driven on county/public streets, this event is not sponsored by Covered Bridge Estates, CAI, it’s Board or Management.

Christmas Eve Music by Sarah Santiago at Clubhouse – 5-7pm

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Janice Hedman

Sarah Santiago who is a friend of one of our residents  has offered to bring a little Christmas cheer with a free (and socially distant) concert/block party on Christmas Eve from 5-7pm at the Clubhouse. She will be singing Christmas favorites and getting the crowd involved… from a distance.

So please wear a mask and maintain social distance as you enjoy singing along with Christmas favorites.

(Sarah’s website.)

NO FOOD TRUCK: Due to the possibility of rain and wind (making travel over the Skyway Bridge difficult), the food truck has cancelled. 

GOLF CART PARADE: Check out the Golf Cart Parade before the Christmas music at the clubhouse!

Parking Violations Suspended for the Holidays

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Janice Hedman

The Board has voted to suspend overnight parking violations for the Holidays from December 23, 2020 through January 2, 2021 to accommodate overnight holiday visitors when resident driveways might be at capacity. Our traffic patrols will still be in force to look for other parking issues, but on-street parking should not incur violations during these dates.

The Board asks that residents be respectful of their neighbors and try not to park directly across from other vehicles which may be already parked on the opposite side of the street.  We want to maintain safe through-traffic and access for any emergency vehicles which may be wider than standard vehicles. Please also do not block access to mailboxes and hydrants. Additional overnight parking for personal resident/guest vehicles is always available in the marked stalls of the bus turnaround and at the clubhouse. (Commercial vehicles and trailers are prohibited.) These areas are under video surveillance.
